Facility Overview
Situated in the heart of Denver's prestigious Cherry Creek North district, the parking garage accessible at 253 Josephine Street provides secure, covered multi-level vehicle storage. Serving both local commercial tenants and public visitors, this modern structured parking garage bridges Josephine Street and University Boulevard (historically associated with the 210 University commercial building). The facility features wide driving aisles, intuitive lane demarcations, and elevator access across all parking tiers. Drivers should note that the garage maintains a strict maximum vehicle vertical clearance of 6 feet 8 inches (6' 8"). This height limit accommodates standard sedans, sports coupes, crossovers, and most stock compact and mid-size SUVs. However, full-size lifted pickup trucks, high-roof conversion vans, commercial cargo carriers, and vehicles equipped with high-profile rooftop cargo boxes or ski racks should not attempt entry due to low-hanging overhead structural beams and mechanical piping.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
This parking facility is exceptionally positioned for experiencing Denver's premiere luxury shopping, culinary, and arts district. Drivers parking here are within short walking distance of dozens of upscale boutique shops, art galleries, and premier restaurants.

Luxury boutique hotels such as the Moxy Denver Cherry Creek, HALCYON, and Hotel Clio are all within a 2- to 5-minute stroll. Beyond dining and hospitality, the expansive Cherry Creek Shopping Center (featuring Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and AMC DINE-IN Cherry Creek 8) is located less than a half-mile to the south. Visitors heading to the renowned Denver Botanic Gardens on York Street will find this garage a dependable staging hub located just 0.8 miles south, offering an easy 15-minute walk or a quick 3-minute rideshare trip.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Navigating to 253 Josephine Street is straightforward thanks to dual-street garage access. Motorists can enter from the west side along Josephine Street (a northbound one-way street between East 2nd Avenue and East 3rd Avenue) or from the east entrance at 210 University Boulevard (a southbound one-way arterial). Both entry points lead directly into the sheltered structure, marked by overhead directional signage. Arterial access to the broader Denver metropolitan area is fast: Speer Boulevard originates just blocks south, offering a direct northwest diagonal connection to Downtown Denver, the Denver Performing Arts Complex, and Ball Arena. For highway commuters, heading south on University Boulevard or east toward Colorado Boulevard connects directly to Interstate 25 within 10 to 12 minutes. Public transit users can take advantage of RTD bus stops within two blocks, including Route 24 running along York/Josephine and Route 83L operating along 1st Avenue and Speer Boulevard.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Because Josephine Street is a one-way street heading northbound, drivers approaching from East 1st Avenue or Speer Boulevard should turn north onto Josephine Street and watch for the garage entrance on the left-hand side between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. If approaching via University Boulevard heading south, look for the '210 University Public Parking' entrance on your right-hand side. Weekend evenings and sunny brunch mornings can see heightened parking turnover; reserving a spot beforehand using mobile platforms guarantees entry during peak demand. Always ensure your vehicle license plate is entered correctly in your mobile app before leaving your vehicle, as the facility monitors parking compliance through digital license plate recognition.
